nyFLYguy05 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2012 Loved Peterjay's flounder so decided to try a quick one. I have a lot more tweeking to do. But I decided to put in the water and see the action. Really looks nice in the water, so for now I am kinda happy lol anyhow this fly has an extended body which is a hmh fly tube, few wraps of lead wire for weight, bucktail for the top and saddle feathers for the bottom. Used CCG to hold the shape I wanted. Any advice would be appreciated! PeterJay, i am looking forward to trying your flounder pattern! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nyFLYguy05 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2012 lol tide water f* u! lol, just kidding. I know its not my best. Anyhow I didnt even think about creating baby flounder or fluke for big bass. Thanks for the posting surf. That may be the next flounder imitation I try. However the pattern i posted above, that is in angeluo peluso's book for NE gamefish, sry about the mis - spelling. But it def is a pattern lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peterjay 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2012 Joe, that's very similar to Mark Sedotti's flounder fly - my books are all packed, but I seem to recall that Mark uses an articulated tail section that's tied on a piece of mono. At any rate, it's all bucktail. You'll catch plenty of fish on that fly if you get it down on the bottom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyFLYguy05 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2012 Tide - I was just messing with you lol, but you are right, you never said it looked bad lol. Sometimes the ugliest fly in my box catches the best! Peter - thats where I got my pattern from. Actually it was a variation from A. Peluso's book, saltwater flies of the NE, there is a fly in there called the flounder clouser. Thanks guys!
